After these packages were upgraded, and a show was recorded, I could not play the video. Once the packages were removed, I still could not watch the recordings, but new recordings play fine. Any ideas?

It is virtually unwatchable in Xine - video choppy, or pauses and speeds to catch up, audio drops out. If I watch the recording in MythTV, it is better but still choppy at times. After I rolled back, everything is perfect again. I am using 9500GT video card with audigy AC3 sound card and VDPAU on.
